Thread for the final organisation of the USA Sat night diplo-game

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

Hey guys, I am wanting to write the Mali story-4000BC to 100BC-but I am a little fuzzy about the details of the game. So, my question is, exactly HOW accurate to the game does the story need to be? Quick responses would be VERY much appreciated ! Oh, another question, does it need to cover the ENTIRE period of the game played so far, or is it OK just to get things underway?

Yours,
Aussie_Lurker.

Its not an exact science. The more accurate the better, but don't bust a brain vessel over it. There are always some liberties we have to take.

Like Capo's story in the EoM1 game really has nothing at all to do with his game, heh. BUT its a good story, so its definitely allowed and encouraged. There are many different elements you need to play with when crafting a good story.

You shouldn't totally overlook the actual game play and start talking about how you invented the airplane in 1000 BC or anything, but its not like you want to just give a turn by turn description of what happened. You need to spice it up a bit.

Ozzy, I'm gonna need a sub for Saturday 10 December. I'd be delighted if you could find the time to play my Russians during the third session.

I also have a problem with this session (USA Sat night Dec 10) - a pre-arranged engagement.

I'm hoping for re-scheduling; or Trev might sub for me?

I'll have lots of extra time over Xmas, from Fri Dec 16 to mid January BTW.

[OzzyKP]

I could try, provided I can get into the game.


btw, diplogames occupy 7 out of the top 10 threads in this forum.

We might need a sub.

Russian_King, you got an icq, MSN or AIM handle?

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

I am good for this Sunday's game, but will not be available for next weeks or the week after-which is why after this week, I sincerely hope everyone will hold off playing until the New Year !

Yours,
Aussie_Lurker.

I also won't be available for this week's session.

Aussie said he was OK for THIS weekend.

Ljube, do you mean you won't be available this weekend??

[Ljube]

Yes.

Are we going to postpone the Christmas Eve session?
